A little break from law related posts. I figure to post about music. Here are some albums or clusters of albums which I think fucking rock.
1) Black Celebration, Music for the Masses, and Violator - Depeche Mode
Words cannot express how rad these albums are. I am pretty certain I know all the lyrics to all of these albums and can identify the songs after one or two notes.
When I listened to the dud, that is DM’s new album, I realized since Alan Wilder left the band, only Playing the Angel is worth listening to. Kind of sad how one guy made all the difference.
2) Diesel and Dust - Midnight Oil
This taught me everything I know about the history of Australia and the Aborigines.
3) Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me ; Disintegration, Wish - the Cure
The tune to Lullaby is in my head as I am typing this. Enough said.
4) Unforgettable Fire - U2
I could have flanked this with War and Joshua Tree, however this album seems to get a bad rap in the U2 pantheon. I couldn’t disagree more, the title track, Bad, A Sort of Homecoming, Pride are all excellent songs.
5) The Cars - The Cars
This album is just what I needed. It is a close race between this and Heartbeat City for the Cars finest work. And for what it is worth, the Cars reunion album from 2011 was pretty good.
6) Hopes and Fears - Keane
I guess I needed am album from post 1991. Keane is kind of cheesy, but I listened to this a lot in law school and still a lot today. First 4 songs are really good.
